Reptilia, Squamata, Teiidae, Tupinambis quadrilineatus: distribution extension and geographic distribution map

Tupinambis quadrilineatus Manzani and Abe, 1997 (Squamata, Teiidae) is an endemic species of Cerrado biome in Brazil. The lizard was described in 1997, based on four specimens from different localities in the Brazilian states of Goias, Mato Grosso and Tocantins (Manzani and Abe 1997). In the following year, the description of Tupinambis cerradensis Colli, Peres Jr. and Cunha, 1998 was published, on basis of 18 specimens from six localities in Mato Grosso and Goias (Colli at al. 1998). In the same article, the authors recognized T. cerradensis as a junior synonym of T. quadrilineatus, explaining that their paper had already been submitted when the description of T. quadrilineatus was published. Later on T. quadrilineatus was recorded in the Jalapao region, state of Tocantins (Vitt at al. 2005; Mesquita et al. 2006); the upper Rio Tocantins valley in northern Goias (region of Minacu; Silva Jr. et al. 2005); Gama city, municipality of Brasilia, Distrito Federal (Guimaraes et al. 2007); and the municipality of Chapada Gaucha in the north of Minas Gerais state (Recoder and Nogueira 2007).
